EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. Painted by Antoine Pesne in 1903, it beautifully captures the essence of this influential monarch who ruled over Prussia from 1740 to 1786. Frederick II was not only a military strategist but also an enlightened ruler who brought significant advancements to his kingdom. Known for expanding Prussian territory through strategic acquisitions, such as Silesia from Austria and parts of Poland, he solidified his reputation as a formidable leader. Beyond his military achievements, Frederick II fostered religious tolerance and modernized the bureaucracy and civil service within his realm. He was a patron of intellectuals like Voltaire and Kant, demonstrating his commitment to promoting intellectual growth during the Enlightenment period. In this portrait engraving by Johann Georg Wille, we see Frederick II dressed in regal attire with a distinguished hat atop his head. His commanding presence is evident as he gazes confidently into the distance. The attention to detail in this monochrome image highlights both the artist's skill and Frederick II's status as a sovereign king. As we admire this historical photograph print from 1903, we are reminded of King Frederick II's lasting legacy as one of Prussia's most revered rulers.
